What it is

Economics treats markets, firms, legislatures and families as systems of people pursuing goals through institutions, tested with data, models and mathematical and statistical tools.

What you need

  • No IB points minimum is published. Your school sends predicted IB grades and you send final results in mid-July; Harvard still expects SAT or ACT scores from IB students.
